Tyrone village shuts down after spillage destroys street

Tyrone may be hoping to paint the town red and white after Sunday’s All- Ireland football final, but unfortunately someone sprayed one of the county’s villages prematurely in the early hours of yesterday morning — and they didn’t use any paint.

The locals of Aughnacloy awoke to a distinctly agricultural smell in the air and, when they ventured out into the main street, they were greeted with the sight of waste sprayed liberally all along its length — to quote a northern saying, it was “pigging” — literally.
